Abstract:
The nan-agricultural activities of man compete with agriculture for land. The demands on land made by increasing urban, industrial, mining, recreation and other developments, and the attendant infrastructure - largely the result of a fast-growing population - leave an ever-shrinking area for producing food and fibre. Higher yields per unit will be required in future. Land use selection will need to be based strictly on information provided by impact studies which predict the effects that various uses will have on agriculture. A long-term master plan for land use in the R.S.A. is needed.

AbstractLand degradation through erosion and salinity is Australia's most urgent environmental problem.Despite the extent and rate of land deterioration, it is not a political issue and has no lobby. Solution to the problem lies in education, incentives and regulations, each in their appropriate role.Basically Australia needs a fundamental change in attitude toward the land based on land ethics. Fifteen specific concepts are recommended for teaching in schools to encourage a sustainable ecological basis for rural production.The author challenges environmental educators to recognize and pursue

Excessive anthropogenic pressure on land resources in Ukraine leads to a deterioration of their quality, and consequently they lose their potential. Human impact on the change of land quality can be direct (by involving land lots in use, carrying out economic activities) and indirect (as a result of such activity, enhancing the natural degradation of soils). The tendency of deterioration of the state of land resources requires the subordination of land relations to the main goal – to ensure comprehensive protection of this major national wealth of Ukraine.

蓄電池は携帯機器,電気自動車をはじめ,自然エネルギー有効利用に至るまで広範囲に利用され,その重要性はますます高まっている。これら機器の使用時間や特性は蓄電池の特性に大きく依存することから,電池自体の特性改善に加え,劣化を診断してより効率的に電池を運用することが求められている。本論文は,非線形情報処理を得意とする人工知能を用いた2次電池の劣化診断法を開発し,エネルギーの有効利用に資する技術を確立した。機器動作時の電池電圧・電流波形と電池劣化特性との関連性を,人工知能を用い学習することにより,機器稼働時に電池の劣化を診断することができる。なお,この関連性は非線形で複雑であるが,非線形分析を得意とする人工知能は劣化診断に適している。学習には時間を要するものの,診断は短時間になし得ることから,提案法は稼働時劣化診断に適している。本論文では,この特徴を生かし,電池の等価回路(ECM)を導出し,充電率(SOC),容量維持率(SOH)を推定している。また,本論文では現在産業応用分野で用いられている,リチウムイオン電池,ニッケル水素電池,鉛蓄電池を対象とし,提案法はあらゆる電池使用機器に応用可能である。また,提案法を電池状態監視装置(BMU)や,マイコンなどを用いた組み込みシステムに応用可能とし,実証している。以上のことから,本論文は,新たな蓄電池の劣化診断法の確立し,その有効性を確認している。<

Abstract:
Over the past three decades, the number of incapacity benefit claimants in the UK has trebled. Conventional wisdom argues that this rise cannot reflect ‘real’ incapacity; Britons are perceived to have got healthier and jobs to have become less physically demanding. Yet self-reported work-limiting disability (WLD) grew over the 1990s. Moreover, some working conditions deteriorated, with ‘job strain’ (the combination of high job demands and low job control) rising sharply. In this thesis, I investigate the possibility that rising job strain partly explains the rise in WLD and incapacity benefit

Abstract:
Soil degradation phenomena are induced by both natural (soil characteristics, climate conditions) and anthropogenic (overgrazing, deforestation, improper agricultural practices) factors. Among the man-induced factors, the intensive agriculture is one of the widest diffused causes of soil deterioration. Particularly, persistent passes of operative machineries produce a dangerous alteration of soil chemical-physical properties. In the framework of Interreg IIIB MILDMAP-MEDIA project, we developed a new index based on the integration of land cover classifications and slope for assessing the level

This paper presents the results of a combined experimental and computational research program to investigate turbine vane and blade material surface deterioration caused by solid particle impacts. Tests are conducted in the erosion wind tunnel for coated and uncoated blade materials at various impact conditions. Surface roughness measurements obtained prior and subsequent to the erosion tests are used to characterize the change in roughness caused by erosion. Numerical simulations for the three dimensional flow field and particle trajectories through a low pressure gas turbine are employed to

This paper describes an approach to estimate the deterioration level of aircraft engines using engine monitoring data and a physics-based engine model. The estimation process is carried out by a neural network, which is trained by data generated using a physical-based engine model complemented with an empirically derived engine deterioration model. The deterioration model allows manipulation of several engine health parameters, such as module efficiency and flow capacity, to simulate engine deterioration. Simulated sensor outputs are used to build independent transfer functions relating the se

Gas turbine performance deterioration can be a major economic factor. An example is within offshore installations where a degradation of gas turbine performance can mean a reduction of oil and gas production. This paper describes the test results from a series of accelerated deterioration tests on a GE J85-13 jet engine. The axial compressor was deteriorated by spraying atomized droplets of saltwater into the engine intake. The paper also presents the overall engine performance deterioration as well as deteriorated stage characteristics. The results of laboratory analysis of the salt deposits

Abstract:
The design and development of high performance turbomachinery operating in a particulate flow environment requires a thorough knowledge of the fundamental phenomena associated with solid particulate flows. Because of the serious consequences of turbomachinery erosion on performance and life, it is important to have reliable methods for predicting their erosion when solid particles are ingested with incoming flow. Many of these studies, which are essential to predicting blade surface erosion intensity and patterns, have been conducted at the University of Cincinnati’s Turbomachinery Erosion Lab

The change of performance parameters over time due to engine deterioration and production scatter plays an important role to ensure safe and economical engine operation. A tool has been developed which is able to model production scatter and engine deterioration on the basis of elementary changes of numerous construction features. In order to consider the characteristics of an engine fleet as well as random environmental influences, a probabilistic approach using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) was chosen.

Abstract:
Gas turbine operating state determination consists of the assessment of the modification, due to deterioration and fault, of performance and geometric data characterizing machine components. One of the main effects of deterioration and fault is the modification of compressor and turbine performance maps. Since detailed information about actual modification of component maps is usually unavailable, many authors simulate the effects of deterioration and fault by a simple scaling of the map itself. In this paper, stage-by-stage models of the compressor and the turbine are used in order to assess

The test data showed good agreement with published data for stage performance deterioration.
